Apple series Lady in the Lake stops filming in Baltimore after violent threat

The production on upcoming Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake was halted in the US state of Maryland after the show’s team received a threat of violence. The incident happened at Park Avenue in Baltimore’s downtown area where the crew was approached by a group of locals at around 4 pm on Friday, reported entertainment news outlet Variety.

According to a statement from the Baltimore Police Department, “the locals” warned the team that they would “come back later this evening (and) shoot someone” if they didn’t stop filming.

Afterwards the group told the producers that they would “allow the production to continue” if they are paid USD 50,000. The team declined to pay and instead, decided to stop filming until a new location was found. The producers of the series are yet to officially comment on the incident.
